Mariachi
Juvenil Axixic
Founded in 2016 in Ajijic, Jalisco by Daniel Medeles, Mariachi Real Axixic has become known for its artistry and commitment to traditional Mexican music. From this tradition grew Mariachi Juvenil Axixic, a youth group of the most talented students from Pedro Rey Mariachi School.
Students pay a fee of $300 pesos, so outside support is essential. The biggest challenge is transportation for rehearsals and performances three times a week.
We are seeking $12,000 USD to purchase a used Hyundai Starex truck to transport both students and instruments safely to rehearsals and concerts.
Your gift helps preserve Mexico's mariachi tradition while empowering the next generation of musicians.

The Rotary Club in Northern Washington has donated a fire engine, but we need to get it across the boarder!
With your support, we can strengthen Tlaquepaque's safety, protect lives and give peace of mind to thousands of families.
Cost of importation, fuel, food and transport, for firefighers requires just $8,300 USD.
